Mohamed, your topic choice is very interesting; however, it seems a bid broad since you are discussing people (such as King and Beethoven) but you also mention national governments as well. It may be easier to focus on either individuals or incidents of whitewashing from historical events only. This would keep the paper more focused. Don’t forget, your research question needs to be approved before you can proceed.
